A review by cnorbury
The Fallen by David Baldacci
4.0
A really solid start was marred by a slightly convoluted ending that felt forced (for the "obligatory shootout" that most thrillers feature). Also, a few info dumps about insurance and the opioid epidemic slowed the pace in a few spots.
Amos Decker is a darn good protagonist with a unique background. I'm glad that he had some issues with his synesthesia (sp) in this book because it added a bit of tension to the subplot of "will he maintain his superlative memory indefinitely? And, will it cause him any physical or mental harm in the long run?)
Alex Jamison felt like more of an appendage in this story other than the fact her sister's family was deeply involved in the storyline.
If you're a fan of the Amos Decker series, you'll probably enjoy "The Fallen."
